Patron Kizik Ucalegon suggested "Redline" for Ren, and think that fits him pretty good. I'm sure Sydney will accidentally call him Renline a few times.
I'm not sure how watching two people fight in a manner that is beyond your capabilities is "training." Well, other than familiarizing yourself with your teammates' capabilities. Vehemence is just having fun brawling at this point. Punching an enemy or being knocked into a cliff is all the same to him.
I wonder if there's a morning star somewhere on Middle Earth called "Antagonist Dagger," or a two by four called "Disagreeable Party Hunga Munga," a boot knife called "Opposition Macuahuitl," or a spiked shield called "Corrival Urumi." I would like to think so. Part of a set by the guy who made FoeHammer. I'm assuming he huffed mercury fumes in between projects.
Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:
Not much to report. Did some minor edits, dialed in a new character's personality a bit. Didn't get a lot of time with the book since Monday's update.

He basically has the same powers as that guy from the movie based on the Wanted comic.

2021-08-13 22:47:48 +0000 UTCHILARIOUS AND ALL-TOO-REALISTIC SUPERVILLAIN ORIGIN STORY: "I'm sorry, we have to terminate your employment with Archon. According to the finest quantum computers on the planet literally EVERY superhero name we have tried to choose for you is racist or offensive. That means in order to avoid liability and potential lawsuits we have to let you go." "Man... WHAT." "You can't have that name either as ManWhat glorifies the male ego and symbolizes gender repression. In fact we have a court order here that orders you not to think, speak or breathe lest you trigger massive lawsuits." " *dot dot dot* " "You're going to walk out of here and punch our building to pieces, aren't you." "Yes. Yes I am. Lemme guess, HR violation? Workplace violence?" "Technically we fired you already and so long as you punch the OUTSIDE of the building it's 100% legal." "I can't even."
2021-08-13 13:37:38 +0000 UTCOof. That's an unfortunate coincidence. My suggestion would be "Nitro". You know, how nitroglycerine goes off if exposed to just about any shock?

2021-08-13 12:08:10 +0000 UTCDoes anybody else really want a close-up of Vehemence's face in the third panel?

2021-08-13 07:46:25 +0000 UTCI think you should be aware that "redline" is also the name of the racist practice of banks refusing to write mortgages for POC in certain exclusively white neighborhoods throughout the northern states. Ren would probably know this, and might chafe at the name.

2021-08-13 01:08:04 +0000 UTCYou could argue it's training simply by seeing what people with certain levels of strength are capable off, so you can plan your own tactics and counters if you see someone of that level/power set coming at you. Also how someone else deals with that may spark ideas for yourself on either offense or defense.

2021-08-12 23:38:11 +0000 UTCNo. Everyone else is a super, which is inherently not normal. I mean, technically Sydney's only a super via device, but it's been long enough for it to affect her attitude.

2021-08-12 23:05:45 +0000 UTCHis name is Ren and his power is adrenaline. Obviously his super name should be AdrenalRen! ...I'll see myself out.

2021-08-12 20:53:34 +0000 UTCIt's right in front of her head in the first closeup panel of her. It's more of a light violet than pink, but it can fluctuate a bit cause of nearby glow and environmental stuff.

2021-08-12 16:51:22 +0000 UTCUmm, is there a Pink Orb missing? I see Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange, and Red, I see the glow of Blue in TMH's hand...

2021-08-12 16:43:21 +0000 UTCGotta admit as a long time Tolkien geek/nerd. If someone called me as a superhero "Foe-Hammer" or the Sindarin "Glamdring." for my hero name, especially if I started using something like the Elven LightSaber, etc. I'd be more than good. Think I'd have to hang up my hat for the week and be just all kinds of happy and a bit smug. But not Smaug

2021-08-12 12:54:14 +0000 UTCIs it odd, that the alien assassin is the most normal person in the group?
Souliris
2021-08-12 12:01:45 +0000 UTCShe didn't exactly look angry or even peeved. Sort of ruins the effect to smile while you're scolding someone.

2021-08-12 11:20:26 +0000 UTCSuper-adrenaline, the more of it gets pumped into his system the stronger he gets. He's basically like a sometimes-captain america except with strength ranging from the cap to low-tier hulk strength as shown in this comic page. Worth noting is that its not anger that makes him go super, but be it anger, fear, suprise, anything that gets the adrenaline flowing will empower him... In theory this would give him a similar ability to get stronger when injured like Vehemence.. except he cant self-heal and I'm guessing his adrenaline supply has a limit to how much it can produce all at once? Or maybe not, its a superpower after all. Maybe if you freak him out enough he could go OPM and break the planet.
